<h2 id="what-an-alias-domain-is-used-for">What an alias domain is used for?</h2>
<p>Let's say you have a mail domain <code>example.com</code> hosted on your iRedMail server,
if you add domain name <code>domain.ltd</code> as an alias domain of <code>example.com</code>, all
emails sent to <code>username@domain.ltd</code> will be delivered to user
<code>username@example.com</code>'s mailbox.</p>
<h2 id="add-alias-domain-with-iredadmin-pro">Add alias domain with iRedAdmin-Pro</h2>
<p>With iRedAdmin-Pro, you can simply add alias domain name in domain profile page,
under tab <code>Aliases</code>.</p>

<h2 id="how-to-add-an-alias-domain-with-phpldapadmin">How to add an alias domain with phpLDAPadmin:</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Login to phpLDAPadmin (<code>https://[your_server]/phpldapadmin</code>) as LDAP root dn
(<code>cn=Manager,dc=xx,dc=xx</code>)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Find the LDAP object of your mail domain which you want to add alias
domain in left panel of phpLDAPadmin, click the ldap object, phpLDAPadmin will
show detailed LDAP attributes/values of this domain in right panel.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Add a new LDAP attribute <code>domainAliasName</code> to this domain account, set value
  to the alias domain (e.g. <code>alias.com</code>).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Make sure LDAP attribute <code>enabledService</code> has value <code>domainalias</code>, if not,
  add it manually. Note: <code>enabledService</code> has few values by default.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Now you should add additional mail address for all mail users, lists, aliases.
For example, if you have mail user <code>user@example.com</code>, you should add additional
email address <code>user@alias.com</code> for this user. Steps:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Find the LDAP object of mail account which you want to add additional email
address in left panel of phpLDAPadmin, for example, user <code>user@example.com</code>,
click the ldap object, phpLDAPadmin will show detailed LDAP attributes/values
in right panel.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Add a new LDAP attribute <code>shadowAddress</code> to this mail account, set value to
<code>user@alias.com</code>. <strong>WARNING</strong>: You must user the same username part as
original email address.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Save your change.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>If you have several mail accounts (mail users, lists, aliases), you have to
add additional email address for them all.</p>
